Long known as "The King of Cheeses", Blue Stilton is one of a handful of British cheeses granted the status of a "protected designation origin" (PDO) by the European Commission. Only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called Stilton. There are just six dairies licensed to make Stilton, each being subject to regular audit by an independent inspection agency accredited to European Standard EN 45011.

To be called Stilton, a cheese must:

be made only in the three counties from local milk which is pasteurized before use.

be made only in a traditional cylindrical shape.

be allowed to form its own crust or coat.

be un-pressed.

have delicate blue veins radiating from the center.

have a taste profile typical of Stilton.

Made by the Long Clawson dairy, this product is perfect for snacking and as a part of the cheese course, but also is a wonderful cheese for salads and cooking.

Because of a previous order, this cheese has yet to be opened as it rests in the cooler confines of my refrigerator.I will open it today and expect the same high standards of flavor and quality that I have received in the past.The customer service team at igourmet are far superior to any other company that I deal with.

Not blue at Christmas

Wonderful Stilton Cheese. One of the biggest things I miss from 15 years in England is Stilton. With igourmet my loss is regained.

Five star rating

We ordered several different cheeses from your company and we are extremely happy with all of them. We ordered the Royal Blue Stilton by Long Clawson for us as well as one as a gift. My sister, who received the gift loved the cheese. We will continue to try other products from your company, we have ordered 2 different times from your company, different cheeses and have been happy with every product we received.

Great as usual

I have been purchasing this for years from igourmet.
Great cheese, creamy with a soft bite of the blue cheese. Great in salads, scrambled eggs and omelets,
or with unsalted plain crackers.

As soon as I get this, I buy a couple of apples and go at it. Makes your head spin.
